Didn’t realize Mother’s Day was approaching? Lucky for your we’ve scheduled this post so that you still have ONE WEEK (that’s right slackers) to: order your flowers, buy your presents, make dinner reservations, and find something suitable to wear.
And no, ripped jeans and a tank are not going to cut it this year.

gina wears:
asymmetrical tribal print skirt | zara, but similar here and here
white shoulder cutout shirt | zara, but similar here and here
necklace | nordstrom, similar here and heretips | when meeting up mom for a nice conservative lunch, the rule of thumb is to make sure that the longest point of your skirt is past your finger tips. thanks to this zara asymmetrical number, i just inched by 😉

alice wears:
red / orange ribbed dress | madewell (sleeveless, one shoulder, floral version)
jewelled flats | vince camuto (similar, splurge, and save)
apple mint plant | trader joe’stips: If you are wearing an ankle brace and/or on crutches, try to take the focus off of those by wearing a bright colour. BAM! (No? still seeing the brace?) If that doesn’t work, then bring flowers. (How about now?) And if your mom is anything like mine (Asian) and insists on ‘no presents’ or ‘no flowers because they die‘ – then try an herb. She can’t possibly say no to that, right?

Now that we’ve got your Sunday’s Best and Sunday Breezy outfits covered for the weekend – let’s get you down and dirty. Literally. Dragging around three nephews to go Easter-egg hunting? Joining in the neighborhood Easter Bouncy House fun but don’t want to flash your goodies? Have a picnic planned that is probably going to involve frisbee & beers not cheese & wine? Here’s our picks to practical chic in no time at all:

tips: Mint is a hot trend this spring (and one of our favourites), so what better way to capitalize on that then Easter weekend? We already told you to go for it yesterday, so get it done! It’s your last chance for pastel overkill!

tips: You have the pastels down so now the prints. And for Easter, polka dots are an easy choice. And, it’s okay if your pastel shorts are wrinkled, blame it on the kids. In fact buy yourself pastel macarons to match your now-wrinkled shorts because kids are dirty and exhausting. you deserve it! A true tip if you’re running around with kiddos all day – STAY HYDRATED. Orange Sparkling TJ Water is a fave (your welcome).

tips: So you’re still hungover from last night and you’ve scrolled past our formal and semi-formal outfit choices. Fine. Well, grab that button up you wore on friday for work, steam it up on the shower so it un-wrinkles, throw on some silky shorts and get out the door. It’s already 3pm on a Sunday afternoon, stop wasting the day!

Hope you enjoyed our three-part series for Easter! Have other style-guides you want to see? Leave us a comment on what you want to see, and we’ll try to get it done, in the borderline fab way.

Ready for some more Easter tips? Part 2 of our Easter Style Guide is right up our alley. Not too formal and not too casual, but juuuusttt right. goldilocks status. Meeting up with your girlfriends for a mid afternoon snack? Stopping by Target to pick up more peeps? Take off your formal wear and let’s get into something a little bit more comfortable. Here are our picks for an easy breezy, effortless Easter look:

tips: to prevent yourself from being a giant minty mess, add some neutral colors to your outfit like grays, taupes, and creams. what the heck – it’s Easter. wear as much pastel as you can! it’s now or never!!!

tips: it’s all about the shoes! from church to lunch, the easiest way to dress down your look from formal to semi-casual is to take off those heels and put on a cute pair of sandals. take a pretty floral dress and throw on some studded sandals and you’re ready to take on any borderline fab errand!

tips: who said shorts couldn’t be dressy? some nicely tailored linen shorts in a bold spring color paired with a light weight chiffon tank makes this look a EGGcellent ensemble for any Easter shindig! add a statement necklace and wedge sandals into the mix and they’ll be wondering why you call yourself borderline anything!

Haven’t been to church in so long you don’t really know how to dress conservatively? Don’t know what to wear for that expensive unlimited Bloody Mary Bar Brunch you’re attending instead of church (No judgment!)? Did you literally just google search onto this page whilst hungover and have to meet your strict, old-fashioned parents in 20 minutes for a fancy lunch? Well, here’s our new series, the borderline fab Guide to Style (combining our love of dressing up for non-occasions and themed, well, any-thing!). Our first post in this series is aimed to get you through Easter weekend. (Hopefully fully dressed and chocolate-wasted).

alice wears:f21 dress | nine west heels | dooney & bourke cross-over bagsimilar lace dress | long sleeve shift, open back, and with pleats versionssimilar orange heels | solid orange or color-block versionstips: cream colours and lace are your best friends for this holiday. Keep it from being too poufy and add a dramatic heel to stay conservative yet not look like a 12-year-old child clutching the Velveteen Rabbit.

christine wears:urban outfitters kimchiblue dress | zara heels | bear yorkshire terriersimilar maxi dress | floral maxi or deep u maxi versionssimilar cut-out shoes | pointed heel, wedge, and black strappy versionstips: serious in the front, party in the back. who says we can’t have it all. a dark pastel is great at this midi length to take you from church to an evening out for easter-themed cotton-candytinis. (adults celebrate too!). puppy not included.

The Easter ensemble usually involves wearing one’s Sunday best to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Frankly, anyone coming back from the dead deserves a holiday in our book (anyone celebrating Tupac’s resurrection anniversary at Coachella this year bc we think that deserves a bdlf Style Guide all on it’s own!). But in all seriousness, Easter also means spring fashions, pastel-coloured anything, head-to-toe florals, and foil wrapped chocolate bunnies galore. I mean, we’ve shown you some dressy fashionable spring finds that are church-ready, brunch-ready, and chocolate-stain proof. Okay, maybe that last one was a lie. Whether you are heading to church or not, there are lots of excuses to dress up (I mean come on, we make excuses to dress up EVERYDAY so no ‘buts’ people!). And we definitely look so borderlinefab, somebody will roll over in their grave. Wait, did that come out right?
